Pro Pointers: Consistently finding bass starts with understanding their seasonal patterns on the body of water you are fishing. Start your search on where they should be looking for the nuisances in the structure on that specific body of water. Anticipate the expected and changing effects of the weather, (wind, and sunlight penetration) and water clarity then make subtle adjustments throughout the day to find and stay on the fish.
